  • Patent number: 6450114
    Abstract: With reference to FIG. 1, the invention is a water craft. The water craft has a hull 1 and a sail arrangement, and carries a fishing line and baited hook. The water craft can sail across a body of water unmanned to a desired location for fishing. The water craft has control means which enables a fisherman on-shore to cause the water craft's sail to drop, thus minimizing further movement of the water craft. The water craft has self righting means 23 which causes it to revert back to a normal in-use orientation if it is overturned while on the body of water. More particularly, the self righting means incorporates a weight which is acted on by gravity to pull the water craft into the normal in use orientation.
